FL Got pulled over

I wish the rx8 had like a sensor when ur driving with the lights off. Was kinda stupid of me for floring it too while a cop was behind me. He eventualy let me go with a warning since im only 17 and i just got the car. I was so happy cuz i had just got good grades in for school and my parents were excited. Well just wanted to share my experiance cuz i almost freaked out cuz speeding tickets suck.

Essentially

So essentially you got pulled over for speeding, not for having your lights off, right?

Remember you were lucky on this one, you might not be so lucky next time you floor it near a cop

I'm not saying go speed but next time you want to put it to the floor make sure you aware of your surroundings

It DOES. There is an idiot light on the dash that tells you when the lights are on. It's up to you to read that sensor.

Dash lights are red when on. Luckly you got out of the ticket, cops in Cali are not as friendly.
